AB  - This study was carried out to determine some biological parameters of carp populations introduced to the Kockopru Dam Lake on the Zilan River in Lake Van Basin and conducted between December 1999 and August  2001.  Sampling  was  carried out monthly using hand nets and trammel nets. It was determined that carp become a  sustainable  population  and  is  caught  by  fishermen.  The  maximum  age was determined as VII;  fork   length   as   61.7   cm   and   weight  as  6002.6  g. Length-weight relationship was estimated as log W = -1.402+2.847 log L and age-length relationship was determined as Lt = 84.070 (1-e<SUP>-0.126(t+0.801)</SUP>). It was also determined that male female ratio was 1:0.94 and maturity size was determined as more than 45 cm for female. Reproduction period was observed in June. It was also observed that commercial fishing could be a big threat for the future of the Kockopru Dam Lake population because of undersized catch.
